Dan Elliot - Dance of Life (Amazing 1970? US Psych SSW LP on the little Wizdom Records label)

 

This is a white label promo vinyl private (Wizdom label) pressing of Dance Of Life by Dan Elliot from probably 1968 or 1969 but no later. I haven't listened to this one in a while but it's so unique that it's hard to forget. I mean that in a good way. This is dreamy folk psych with a psychedelic SSW style sound to it. It has a nice flowing sound to it. There is excellent light orchestration with mostly strings & some very nice flute at times. The vocals are incredible. They're haunting & maybe a cross between Johnny Arcesia from Arcesia & Wyatt Day of Ars Nova. There is a sense of urgency in his vocals & they are wrought with emotion. This is truly an outstanding LP ! (from popsike)

A truly incredible singer songwriter effort ! His vocals range goes from Sean Bonniwell, to Sal Valentino to Randy Monaco of The Mandrake Memorial. Very unique baroque arrangements and production elevate this even further. Can tell this will only get better with repeated listens. Seems pretty scarce too ! (reviewed by Alex Kerner on discogs)

Listen :  B2. Falling Out of Love  &  B4. Get Out of My Sandbox 

Don't miss this opportunity to add a great LP to your collection !
